Wonderful Property

Gorgeous house in fabulous scenery and good value. Location is well connected, yet rural enough. Great garden with pool too. Only issue we had was that the local town had it's music festival the week we were there - so most nights were a bit noisy. Hey ho, no matter.

Beautiful

The property was well located with easy and good access to Aramante the Douro valley and Porto. The garden and house are secluded and the surrounding area of vineyards was very quiet and peaceful. The house was really well equipped and very nice with lots of hot water and towels for the pool. We enjoyed walking around the area and into Aramante along the new footpath next to the river. We had a really relaxing stay and would throughly recommend the house to people.

A casinha do Monte est un lieu magique, la maison, le jardin et la vue sont magnifiques. Nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances La maison est très bien équipée, nous n'avons manqué de rien si ce n'est d'une clim dans les chambres. Les températures étant très fortes nous avons du racheter un ventilateur mais malgré tout les nuits étaient difficiles. La dame qui nous accueille ainsi que son mari sont extrêmement gentils, très discret mais réactif en cas de besoin . Leur maison se trouve en contre bas.C'est avec grand plaisir que je reviendrai passer des vacances chez Monsieur Diogo

Charmant parardijsje

Wij waren hier een weekje met onze oudere kinderen, en hebben genoten van het huis. Het is net of je in het huis van vrienden verblijft. Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig, prettig zwembad, keukengereedschap, inclusief afwasmachine en heerlijke wijn (€6 per fles). Het was warm overdag, maar het huis blijft koel. Er is geen wifi, wat op zicht geen probleem is, want er is goed bereik met de telefoon, maar dat heeft bij ons wel veel data gekost. (zorg voor wat extra GBs, als dat relevant is) Onderaan de heuvel 5-10 min. Lopen, is een mooi rivierstrandje, met nieuw aangelegd wandelpad richting Amarante (5km?). Waar allemaal leuke restaurantjes & meerdere supermarkten zitten. Helemaal top!

Très bien

Nous avons passé un bon sejour . Diogo a été facilement joignable ; bonne situation pour visiter la région; exterieurs agréables, grande piscine bien rafraîchissante; il faisait un peu chaud à l'étage dans les chambres des enfants (plein été); sinon tout était bien.

Charmante maison traditionnelle proche de la nature

La maison toute en pierre est bien équipée et spacieuse : il y a tout ce qu'il faut dans la cuisine et dans les chambres. Nous avons apprécié la piscine privative et le jardin qui est magnifique (bien entretenu et fleuri). La présence d'une suite parentale est un plus. Malgré l'absence de clim nous n'avons pas souffert de la chaleur car la maison reste fraîche. La maison est bien située à proximité de la rivière (on peut s'y baigner) et il est possible de visiter facilement les environs, dont Porto (à environ 40min de voiture). Le propriétaire très sympa nous a gentiment accueilli en français. Merci !

Wir hatten eine tolle Woche im Haus. Der Pool und die Wiese sind sehr groß und sehr gepflegt. Morgens wird man von den Nachbar Hunden und Hähnen geweckt. Bei einer leeren Gasflasche haben wir sofort Abhilfe erhalten. Toller Gastgeber!

Bonitos jardines y piscina

Aunque no pudimos acabar la estancia por un problema familiar, daré mi valoración. Lo mejor de la casa es el jardín y sobre todo la piscina, es todo un relax. La casa en sí no es demasiado confortable, le hace falta una renovación, sobre todo los baños, pero es aceptable para unos días. Diogo es un anfitrión muy amable. Está a unos 10 minutos en coche de Amarante, que es una ciudad muy agradable.

Demeure de charme avec jardin splendide

Nous (adultes et enfants) avons tous apprécié notre séjour chez Diogo. La maison est agréable et l'extérieur idéal grâce à divers endroits qui permettent de rester à l'ombre lors de grandes chaleurs. La piscine est fantastique et le jardin qui l'entoure très agréable grâce aux voisins qui en prennent soin .
